Collection = tag? Without delving into the history of Chandler, I suspect that what we see as a collection was originally presented as a tag. Hint: the tag icon for each collection :-) Tags, tagging, multiple word tags etc.: Personally, I have a horror of tagging. When I wear my 'Diigo user' hat, I see many aspects to tagging. Some of what's at/around <http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/tag/tag> gives a flavour of the diverse perceptions and requirements. <http://groups.diigo.com/Web2/bookmark/tag/semantic+tag> is a more positive reflection of a possibly happier future to tagging. Smart folders: From a Mac OS X perspective, yes, I get this idea. In practice, in Mail.app: I have hundreds of mailboxes but only five smart folders; four of the five are ignored and the one that I do use regularly is a simple collection of everything that is flagged. This reflects my somewhat old-fashioned roots and a tendency to limit myself to things that work with IMAP. More often than smart folders, I use http://www.tow.com/msgfiler/ MsgFiler — not for finding messages, but for finding mailboxes (the containers for the messages). Keyword here for me is FAYT. --- Re-focusing on Chandler: in all cases, I consider the group work perspectives. In Diigo, I'm familiar with the 'group tag dictionary' feature. In Chandler: if we add tags, should we then have ;collection tag dictionaries'? Etc..
